The game is even better than the Bill Willingham's original graphic novel series. The Wolf Among Us is a showcase of first class storytelling. [Aug 2014]
A fantastic, morally ambiguous detective tale that sometimes struggles to make its interactivity meaningful and fun.

Telltale's most successful game in my opinion. TWD's first and second seasons were better, but then it became very mediocre with the third and final season. When we think of it as a series, TWD looks worse to me. I've been waiting for a sequel for years but it never happened because Telltale wasted time by making incredibly wrong decisions. They still continue to make the same bad decisions today. I wish a more decent company had bought the rights to this game and continued it. Wolf Among Us has serious potential, but it's being held in a cage by the wrong game company.

The story is nothing short of a captivating masterpiece, weaving together mystery and emotions in a way that instantly captivated me. From the very beginning, I found myself immersed in its intricate narrative, drawn into a world of intrigue and suspense that kept me eagerly playing. The characters are richly developed, each with their own complexities and hidden depths, making every decision I made feel genuinely impactful. The gameplay mechanics are flawlessly executed, seamlessly merging storytelling with player agency.
As I navigated the choices and dilemmas presented in the game, I felt a profound sense of connection to the characters and their struggles. Every decision felt weighty, reminding me of the power of choice in shaping the outcome of the story. The way the game responds to these choices, tailoring the experience to my decisions, showcases the incredible craftsmanship behind "The Wolf Among Us."
For Steam achievement hunters: the game features 35 achievements, and only 5 of them are missable. Fortunately, these 5 achievements are relatively easy to obtain.
While Telltale Games has produced numerous remarkable titles, it's clear that "The Wolf Among Us" stands as a shining gem in their collection. Its ability to elicit strong emotions, keep players engaged, and offer a truly immersive experience is a testament to the artistry of game development. This game has not only left a lasting impact on me but also solidified itself as a true masterpiece in the realm of interactive storytelling.

A grim, tight, wonderful story of prostitution, loan-sharking and power plays. [Issue#254, p.59]
Great first season with great characters and coherent story. More interactive story than game though.
The Wolf Among Us is yet another good game from Telltale Games. One major flaw is dismissing some characters - that's the reason the first season of The Walking Dead is and will be a better offering. Everything else - from the atmosphere to the storyline - is really good. Apparently Lee and Clementine's adventure wasn't a one-time high quality offer. I can recommend this game with a clear conscience.
I think I feel for The Wolf Among Us what most people feel about The Walking Dead‘s first season, insofar as I can forgive it pretty much every fault it has because of the way it perfectly blends characters, setting, atmosphere, and plot.
While the Walking Dead demonstrated the potency of interactive fiction, there are times here where Telltale struggles to dispel a disquieting notion: that The Wolf Among Us doesn’t necessarily benefit from the player’s involvement.
By far one of the worst, most boring games i've ever played.
Characters are painfully boring and stupid.
Dialogues are even worse - made me angry most of the play time.
Action scenes are mostly redundant with no real action involved.
You can collect a few items but without any real point - you can't use them and they don't make any difference in the story.
They'd be better off making a movie - the graphics are the first advantage.
The episodes are very short - an hour of gameplay - thats the other advantage
At the end of the 5th episode the only choice i regret is playing this game. I'd be better off staring at the black screen.
If someone offered me to jump down the witching well or to replay the game - I'd be jumping before they could finish the sentence.

Summary Based on the award-winning Fables comic book series by Bill Willingham (published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint), The Wolf Among Us is a dark, often brutally violent, and mature take on the characters and creatures of fairytale and legend. A five episode series from the creators of the 2012 Game of the Year: The Walking Dead, the player ...
